    Failsafe ways to open Access and run a macro and close

    Table Displayed in Text Box?

    Not easily. You can use a non-proportional font; that will make it easier to line things up. You can experiment with Rich Text setting for the textbox (and underlying field, if any) and format the list using HTML. Me, I would use 1 small textbox, and only display the text from the selected row...

    Solved Error 2046 on open

    > So I opened the A2019 version in A2010 Software is rarely forward-compatible, R&C notwithstanding. A2010 is no exception. Development should always be done in the lowest version you need to support. Btw, did you know you can run the full version of Access with the /runtime switch to simulate...

    Open a command prompt (cmd.exe). Type: SET The list contains all available environment variables. Note the one called USERPROFILE. Use the VBA function Environ("USERPROFILE") to return this string.

    Access product catalogue website style

    One thought is to create a Catalog report, similar to the one in Northwind 2 Developer Edition template, and run it in Report View (rather than Print Preview). That makes the report sensitive to mouse clicks on the various controls. The code-behind can then find out the PK of the record you...

    Access table protection from connections and DBreplications

    I sympathize with this dilemma, but trying to hide the tables in Access is not the way to protect your intellectual property. Maybe you can open a new thread: "How to protect my intellectual property residing in Access tables" and we can suggest some options.

    Access table protection from connections and DBreplications

    I was not clear enough. What you call "hiding", Excel calls "bah humbug" and ignores the Hidden attribute. That is not really hiding then, is it? That is what I meant with my comment "Hiding tables is not really possible in Access".

    Access table protection from connections and DBreplications

    Hiding tables is not really possible in Access. You'll need to look at a server-class database engine like SQL Server if that is your requirement. Also, your "tblQ*" tables seem in conflict with a proper relational database design, so maybe Excel is a better environment for you. Make sure you...

    New query does not produce results

    The join line between two tables indicates that the values in the joined fields must be the same. Looking at your Grade and Student tables for example, you are saying that GradeID and StudentID must match up. But that is wrong. The join line should be between Grade.StudentID and Student.StudentID.

    Northwind 2.0 fresh template startup errors on Access 365

    I have seen this behavior as well, if the db was saved to a non-trusted location. For me it helped to decompile the application. Search online for "Access Decompile" and you will find plenty of leads on how to do that.

    You can't hide a control that has the focus

    The loop eventually arrives at cmb_Client. You then set focus to it, and hide it. Kaboom! One idea is to create a 1x1 pixel command button, transparent, and set focus to it before entering the loop.

    DB behavior is bizarre

    What will happen If I decide to ditch the database?

    I doubt many potential customers see that as a good thing. You become the single-point-of-failure. If you get hit by a bus, or (hopefully) by the winning lottery ticket, POOF, you and their investment are gone. Compare that to someone who answers: "I use mainstream coding style and tools from...
